Can you sleep on your sides if have a newly pierced ear?

It is generally not recommended to sleep on the side with a newly pierced ear, as it may put pressure on the piercing and cause pain, discomfort, or even damage to the piercing. When the ear is still healing, it is important to minimize movement and contact with the piercing to ensure proper healing. Sleeping on the opposite side is advisable until the piercing has fully healed, to avoid disturbing or irritating the new piercing. Consult with your piercer or healthcare professional for specific instructions and recommendations regarding caring for and sleeping with a new ear piercing.
